Aeroplanes are notorious for having very little legroom. Whether you’re tall or short, you’re bound to feel cramped when flying unless you’re flying first class. In that case, good for you. Most times, if you want extra legroom, you have to pay for it. We may not all be able to afford first-class tickets but that doesn’t mean that we don’t deserve to fly with comfort and, at the very least, decent legroom. There are some hacks that can help you get more legroom and feel like the monied in first class for free. Here are some.

  1. Choose A Front Row Seat

Naturally, most people prefer booking the back seats since they have better views. No one wants to fly for several hours while staring at a blank wall. However, these seats have one advantage. They have a lot of legroom so if you really need that extra space, these are the ideal seats for you. Some airlines charge extra for front-row seats since they have more legroom. Additionally, some front-row seats are just as cramped as the rest. Ensure that you do your research to check whether there are additional charges and whether the seats have more space.

  1. Choose An Aisle Seat

The aisle seat is one of the best seats on a plane. It not only allows you to get up and use the restroom without disturbing other people but also offers flyers ample legroom at no extra charge. People on the aisle seat can stretch their legs and shift around freely. Due to their popularity, however, these seats are booked fast. To secure an aisle seat, you can book your flight a month or so in advance.

  1. Recline Your Seat

It’s no secret that economy-class seats are less than comfortable. they’re awkwardly upright with nearly non-existent legroom. If you’re stuck in this position for hours, it can lead to neck pain. To avoid this, you can recline your seat slightly back to allow you to stretch your legs and have a comfortable position. Ensure that you don’t recline too far so that it disturbs the person seating behind you. It’s also polite to ask them before reclining.

  1. Use The Tray Table

Though it’s a necessity on all flights, the tray table can be inconvenient and eat up some legroom when folded down. However, if you set it up, it frees up some space and you can use it to store your laptop, books and other belongings. You can also use it as a makeshift footrest if you really need to. It might be a bad habit to put your legs up but in some cases, it’s necessary. Make sure to bring a pillow to make it more comfortable for your legs.

  1. Avoid Checking In Early

There are high chances that you’ll find empty seats on the plane especially if you’re flying during off-peak seasons when there are fewer passengers. Hang back and board the flight when most of the people have so that you can check whether there are better empty seats. If there are, request the airline to allocate one to you. In most cases, they will agree and you can enjoy a seat with good legroom at no extra cost. Common Airport Mistakes To Avoid

  1. Keep All Your Belongings Away

A pro tip to get the most legroom is to ensure that your carry-on luggage is able to fit in the overhead compartment to avoid eating up your legroom. However, many people are sceptical about their belongings due to all the horrible experiences of losing luggage. If you’ve never lost your luggage when flying, then you’ve probably heard horror stories of people losing their suitcases. The downside is that there is limited space in the overhead compartment. Therefore, it’s best to avoid bringing a lot of luggage and keep your onboard personal items to a minimum.
